I have been given a fairly beaten-up model of a Chris Craft Corvette to either restore or junk!
The model is 48" long and the hull is constricted of wood (complete and rather tatty), and the super-structure has the upper cabin mounted front spray screens missing and needs some repair and new parts making if I decide to restore it.
I cant find much information about this model boat but I think it may be built from an American made Sterling kit from the early 50's ?
The hull looks like (from the fairly intricate hull bulkhead structure) that there it was intended to be driven by twin electric motors - and if I do restore it, this would be my choice of power for the model.
I would like to buy a set (or copy set) of the original plans if I am to restore it so I can see what size to make the missing upper cabin front screens and to check out any other details that may need making or replacing.
Although this model has seen better days I can see from its shape that it is a model that I would be pleased to own and sail on our club lake every week, so any help or information that I can find would be gratefully received as it could make the difference between being encouraged to restore it - or not bother!
This model does need a lot of work to return it to its former glory - and I will be 70 in a few weeks time - so if anyone has a nice example to sell, please contact me as I would be interesting in buying it and sailing it every week as I use it as a full size reference to help and encourage me to restore this sad example!
